JobDiscover.com The First Job Search Engine With An Online Interview Conference System Is Also Banner And Ad Free

There are hundreds of online job sites, but only JobDiscover.com gives its clients the opportunity to use an online interview room to save time and money as well as avoid potential lawsuits. Being banner and ad-free means potential employees will not be bounced all over the Internet. When someone goes to JobDiscover to find a job, finding a job is all they will find.

ISORegister, Inc. has partnered with TalkingCommunities.com to provide the integrated interview/conference system for all new JobDiscover.com clients.

"We knew when we started developing JobDiscover.com that we were going to have to set ourselves apart from every other job site on the Internet", said Darryl Graham, President and founder of ISORegister, Inc. "Partnering with TalkingCommunities.com brings us the element that no other job site has."

ISORegister, Inc. has been online since 1999 and is currently operating 7 other profitable websites, and JobDiscover.com is a natural addition to their suite of sites.

ISORegister, Inc. established itself as a 100% banner and ad-free membership based system before membership sites were the in thing. JobDiscover.com will feed off the companyfs success and gives its clients a unique and affordable method to find employees.

Vice President Jeremy Gislason also added, "JobDiscover.com offers all the amenities of the other search sites, such as client logo posting, search by company, resume database searches and its branded version of employee control with Discover MeTM and now with the online interview/conference system built into the back office, JobDiscover.com becomes a slam dunk for any company to affordably post and control job searches online".

Pricing of JobDiscover is extremely affordable at only $27.97/month, with each company being able to have up to 5 active job listings and an unlimited number of job postings that can be activated and deactivated with the click of a mouse.

Discover MeTM accounts are free for job seekers and give users total control over their resume and personal information.

"Partnering with ISORegister, Inc. on this most unique job search engine made sense to us as we have some great ideas in the works for 2005 that will include JobDiscover.com and the employee acquisition market," said CEO of TalkingCommunities.com, George Buys. "The interview/conference system being offered to JobDiscover.com clients will allow interviews and training to be conducted online which will save both employees and employers time and money. The sessions can also be recorded to protect both parties from possible lawsuits."

Added Susan Leiker, Director of Customer Support, "During our time working with ISORegister, Inc. we have found them to be a solid company with their clients best interest at stake. We at TalkingCommunities.com are extremely happy to be part of JobDiscover.com and the opportunity to showcase our conference system as part of this new service."... (Continue reading)

The Networkers Nightmare: Time To Stop Smiling

One of the first things a sales person learns is to smile whenever they are talking on the telephone. This helps build confidence in yourself as well as confidence from the prospect on the other end of the telephone.

But, how much can a person smile when they call someone who has requested not to receive telemarketing calls? Will they be smiling and glad to get your calls? Probably not. As a matter of fact, they may even go the extra mile as to file a lawsuit against the telemarketer.

This is really starting to cause a commotion in the Network Marketing industry. More and more Networkers are relying on telemarketing to build their home based businesses. Using the telephone to build their business is easy. Less feelings of rejection therefore less stress.... (Continue reading)

ISA Trend Investing is Proving a Profitable Choice for Investors

A new wave of investing coined 'ISA Trend Investing' is proving its 111C worth as investors across the country are finding their portfolios have surged by as much as 40% during the past six months, whilst the FTSE 100 gained just 5.9% and the Nasdaq Composite a mere 2.7% over the same period.

Devised by professional stock market investor and millionaire author Stephen Sutherland, whose own personal ISA portfolio has gained 40.1% in just under six months, ISA Trend Investing works on the premise of using Stocks & Shares ISAs as opposed to Cash based ISAs. Sutherland now has an army of investors following his lead who have revealed that ISA Trend Investing has literally thrashed their other investment strategies by showing extraordinary growth despite a depressed economy.

1110

"20 weeks ago I invested following Stephen's lead and so far that investment is up 48%. I also placed a second purchase 17 weeks ago and this one has gained 11.77%. That means over a 20 week period, I've seen a tax-free gain of 30.074% on my original capital. That's quite astounding considering that the stock market over that same period has hardly budged," says John Clark, who is one of many investors to make substantial gains in their portfolio by switching to ISA Trend Investing.

"With ISA Trend Investing, when the trend is con?rmed up, you look to buy the highest quality Investment Funds. You search for funds that can be purchased within a Stocks and Shares ISA. You do not buy individual stocks as they carry too much risk. You do not buy index tracker funds because it is possible to "beat" the indexes if you know what you are doing. Instead of simply buying and holding, you are active. By understanding the overall trend or direction of the market, you invest into the market when the con?rmation of the trend is up, and switch out of the market when the con?rmation of the trend is down," explains Sutherland, whose book Liquid Millionaire (£21.97, AuthorHouse) was released last month.

Sutherland also reveals that further gains can be made with SIPP Trend Investing, which can be run in parallel with ISA Trend Investing.

"Whichever investment fund you buy with your ISA, you buy the same fund with your SIPP. That means if you get a 20% annual return on your ISA, you get a 20% annual return on your SIPP," confides Sutherland. "Some would say our portfolio performance over recent months has been astounding. The key to this performance is correctly reading the market's trend and pinpointing the best investment funds; the ones that are in sync with the market's trend," he adds.

Notes to Editor

Stephen Sutherland is the UK's leading authority on ISA Trend Investing. Through his company, ISACO, clients get to shadow invest him, therefore making thesame returns as him. Ste 1F9C phen's clients include the original pioneer of health clubs in the UK, a leading authority in cosmetic, implant and restorative dentistry, a professional rugby player, a hedge fund manager and two serial property investors, who at the last count owned 150 properties between them.

HealthONE and AfterOurs will jointly locate medical services at a number of HealthONE clinics - beginning in Lower Downtown (LoDo) - in order to expand services to patients, particularly during evenings and weekends.
